Not sure why this is so difficult. Why can't you just plug an extension cord into the outlet at her side of the bed and run it under the mattress to your side of the bed?
The bed is located in the slide out. The slide out covers the outlet on her side when closed. So to prevent any accidents/damage. I am not running a cord under the mattress and plugging it into the outlet. I am not going to risk someone closing the slide with the cord in the way.
Thanks for your feedback.
Honestly, this is similar to what I would do. Only instead of under the mattress, I'd drill 2 holes in the bed base and put one of those round things in to keep it from being an abrasive edge.
Unplugging from that outlet would just be part of the checklist of travel-ready items.
On my last rig, we had outlets on both sides and both were in the wall beside the slideout. In hundreds of moves, it was never an issue to unplug items from them.
If that's not kosher, then you could likely run from the outlet above the dresser and go down into the under belly, across the room and drill a new hole through the floor for the end of the extension cord to come up. You'd need a significantly longer extension cord AND it seems like a lot of work for a temporary solution.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
